The one runway in Europe more intimidating than the black run beside it.
Book a private jet to Courchevel from London, Geneva, Milan and beyond. Courchevel Altiport FBO, same-day departures, EASA-certified operators. All-inclusive quote within 4 hours.
Courchevel has the single most famous runway in private aviation — 537 metres, an 18.5% gradient, no go-around possible once committed, and legally restricted to pilots who hold a specific altiport qualification. It exists because this is the resort the rest of the ski world measures itself against, and the people who fly here privately are, almost without exception, flying to Courchevel 1850, the upper village where the Michelin stars and the ski-in ski-out chalets concentrate most densely. For clients on larger aircraft, we route through Chambéry instead, with a scenic road or helicopter transfer up into the mountains.
Our clients fly into Courchevel for a chalet with its own spa staff, for lunch at La Mangeoire on the slopes, and for a version of skiing that was never really about the skiing. We source the right aircraft for the occasion — a light aircraft or helicopter direct to the altiport for smaller groups, or a larger cabin via Chambéry for a full family arriving for the season.

For small aircraft and helicopters, the Courchevel Altiport (CVF) itself offers direct access — though it is one of the most restricted airfields in the world, limited to specially qualified pilots. For most jets, Chambéry (CMF) is the standard gateway, followed by a road or helicopter transfer of roughly 20 minutes to 2 hours.
A light jet from Geneva or Milan to Chambéry starts from approximately €5,500 to €11,000 one-way. From London or Madrid, expect €11,000 to €17,500. Winter season pricing (December–March) runs considerably higher due to demand. We provide an all-inclusive quote within 4 hours.
No. The altiport's 537-metre runway and 18.5% gradient restrict it to small, specially certified aircraft and helicopters, flown only by pilots holding a specific altiport qualification. Most private jet clients land at Chambéry instead and complete the journey by road or helicopter.
Yes. Your pets fly in the cabin with you — no cargo hold, no separation, no weight restrictions. EU pet travel regulations apply for international arrivals; we advise on the required documentation in advance.
An empty leg is a private jet flying without passengers to reposition — typically returning to base or preparing for its next charter. These flights are available at up to 75% below standard charter rates, and are especially common outside the December–March peak season. We publish available empty legs on this page and update them daily.
